Scarlet Vice Book

If you're looking for a complete "porn-fest" it's a great book with lots of sexual scenes, great "porno-thills" descriptions and the like. As a reader of many erotic novels and an amateur author of my own ones, I have to say that I found it excruciating that he has the tendency to repeat himself over and over and over.

Admittedly, I've read this book about 3-4 times now but as I've started reading it aloud to my husband, I really do realize how much he uses the same words, the same thoughts and the same repetitive speech patterns. I mean, Jesus Ray, learn a new word for "thought" other then "Pondered", "mused" and "reflected". :P I can actually feel myself kicking myself every time I read the word "lesbian" too; as I tend to hate that word. It just sounds so ugly and it's over used to the point of unnecessary. (e.g.; "lesbian sex with my lesbian lover.")

The fact the husband, who she doesn't care about apparantly, is there every time and the fact she then suddenly decides she DOES care what he thinks makes me roll my eyes too. Needs t be more thought out I felt, as the story was just... rushed?

Over all, three stars as it "gets the job done."
